Our story, painted across 335 sq ft

A donated mural turning our students, instructors, and the people we love into heroes — unveiled January 31, 2027 at USTMA Berryville.

Our Story

30 years of kicking cancer, together

Grand Master Choi founded “Kick Cancer Out of This World” after losing his father to cancer. Three decades later, our whole community carries it forward. This year, artist Josh Yavelberg has donated a mural that turns our students, instructors, and loved ones into heroes — a lasting symbol of resilience, discipline, and hope. 100% of public donations go to our cancer charity partner.

Ways to Give

Three ways to make an impact

Every gift is tax-deductible and goes straight to the fight against cancer.

From $100

Your name goes on a pine board in our lobby stack. At the January 31 unveiling we break the whole stack — then mail your board back to you with a certificate. ($25 community boards and $500/$1,000 stacks too.)

The Mural & Our Team

Every hero on the wall has a story

Artist Josh Yavelberg has donated a 335 sq ft mural for USTMA Berryville — an anime-inspired tribute to our martial-arts family and the guardians of Korean tradition. $250 adds your name to the donor plaque; being painted in as a hero character starts at $1,000 — spaces are limited by the wall, and character sign-ups close December 15.
